Hitler Action Figure

It's springtime for Hitler as a Ukrainian toy manufacturer releases a collectible Hitler doll complete with two changes of uniform, a leather trench coat, and his dog Blondi. About three million people died in Ukraine during the Nazi invasion. Neo-Nazism and anti-Semitism are major problems in Eastern Europe. This has to be the either the most tone deaf or cynically insensitive move by a business that I've run into in a long time.

Coming up next: "Cuddle Me Hitler" who sings the Horst Wessel song when you squeeze him.
